well you’re gonna feel stupid when you
got a hot best friend who got hot
playing Wii fish and everyone else in
the world gets hot because they play Wii
Fit and you’re sitting on your fat ass
playing Grand Theft Auto then what are
you gonna say huh
fatty according to published research
playing games like Wii Fit for 20
minutes per day is enough to meet the
requirements of the American College of
Sports Medicine for maintaining and
improving cardiovascular health that’s
good news for two reasons in particular
first according to a pilot study from
the University of California at San
Diego playing Wii Sports games a few
times per week can drastically reduce
depressive symptoms in older adults
secondly a 2011 study proved that
playing a virtual soccer game like FIFA
makes you significantly hungrier than
just resting despite the fact that
you’re really only moving your fingers
when you play FIFA leading to increased
unnecessary calorie intake given much of
the world’s problem with obesity
exercise video games seem like a great
idea too bad nobody plays them anymore
leaf it’s gonna make everyone in the
world hot number 4 misbehaving kids play
a lot of games a study from Oxford
University looked at the gaming habits
of children and found a strong link
between long periods spent playing video
games and behavioral problems you got
skills
but Oxford isn’t totally anti videogame
the study doesn’t try to blame the bad
behavior on the games and does note the
kids who played co-op games had fewer
problems with their peers with Doyle
rules
thanks a lot old oil nice meeting you
also the study said that playing violent
games didn’t seem to make any difference
in the children’s behavior but more on
that later
number three some games improve your
memory but not all of them a study in
2013 had graduate students play fruit
ninja star front collision modern combat
and cut the rope only the cut the rope
player showed significant improvements
in concentration memory and the ability
to switch fluidly between tasks so it’s
a good thing that gaming can improve
your memory because it might also
destroy it
the link is only theoretical and is not
proven but gamers rely on a part of the
brain called the caudate nucleus more
than non-gamers do this dependency
causes reduced grey matter in another
area of the brain called the hippocampus
and that reduction in gray matter is
associated with neurological disorders
like Alzheimer’s I’m sorry for your loss
um sorry for your loss
poor loss number two Rayman Raving
Rabbids can treat dyslexia this is great
it all I’ve done is after my name real
house
a 2009 experiment took two groups of
dyslexic children and had them play the
Ubisoft game Rayman Raving Rabbids one
group played the more action-oriented
mentally demanding minigames while the
other played the simpler ones after a
few sessions totaling 12 hours of game
time their reading abilities were
measured again and only the kids playing
the more demanding game showed scores
better than before the improvements for
these kids were as good or better than
the results of conventional much less
fun treatments only kids could sit for
12 hours of these things though number
one violent games do affect your
behavior so tell your folks Barney
bomb star or Canada so the question is
do violent games make you more violent
in real life I’m sorry me but those
games cost up to and including seventy
dollars and they’re violent and they
distract you from your school there’s
obviously a little bit of debate on the
subject but from what we’ve read the
research currently points towards No
however violent games have been found to
affect behaviour in a few ways for
instance they can make gamers behave
more aggressively in simulated real-life
situations those feelings of aggression
can persist at least 24 hours after
playing has stopped also when given
access to candy violent gamers eat on
average three times more of it than non
violent gamers that same experiment then
tested the gamers to see if they’d steal
some raffle tickets when nobody was
around and the violent gamers cheated
eight times more than the non violent
ones silly there’s never a charge for
the raffle even sleeping under a rock so
do you think playing video games is good
for your health overall how have they
helped you now I know you love video
games and I asked a clerk which is the
one every boy wants oh you got me for
more healthy top 10s and misbehaving top
